or he can build his own software so he can tweak it and make the numbers look better then they actually are.

P.S. I'm my own tuner (Tuner DP) and have only myself to blame if something goes south. Man up or get out. Stock stuff breaks. Modified stuff breaks more frequently.

LOL@MBC. Might as well use a carburator while your at it. ECU controlled timing?? What a joke. That's what distributors are for. Duh.
w00t for another self tuner 160K miles on mine
im using al ink and its crap

MBC hmm never used it. i just use the stock one

got my car up to 23psi

You're probably talking about Ed's road dyno software so this is a bit un-related, but: all dyno's, including Pauls can be manipulated to read higher or lower. Thats why its just a tool and one set of dyno numbers should never be compared to the other. Track is the real indicator of power/speed.

I know you're aware of this though

Your 100% correct!, What's even worse is the retarded Weather station on a Mustang but I wont even go there as I could go on for ever about it, I resolved the issue with it on mine within 15 minutes of the dyno working when I brought it - I sponsored it to Waste Management!

Every dyno I have ever used is simple to manipulate in one way or another.

If this is another cheap shot at Ed, when did/does Ed fudge the numbers? Every dyno plot of his has looked more like a heartbreaker than a DynoJet.

The fanbois are strong in this thread.

That was in no way a cheap shot at anyone. Sorry you misunderstood my post.

Dont be so quick to jump to conclusions

Actually I think he was more defending Ed as he was stating that if people are referring to Ed's software being easy to manipulate that so are all dyno's which he is correct in stating.

As I said he is 100% correct, I know of several shops using Mustang dyno's whose numbers pretty much replicate those of a Dyno-Jet, did it come that way from Mustang hell no they changed either the parasitics file or the pressure ratio to bring their numbers inline with what used to be perceived as the industry standard.

FWIW I don't think any of the Nor Cal tuners mess around with their readings too appease their customers, I know it's not been done here other than the time I wanted to know how it could be done and see if I could hit 1000whp on a NA 350z one night (1037whp stock Z FTW!)
